    Lamb Chops

    Delightful little restaurant. Lamb Chops were delicious! Filet Minyon was cooked to perfection. Service was great. Joseph and Eli were very welcoming and helpful.

    Walnut Encrusted Salmon

    This is the cutest little place! So charming! Family owned. Service from the father (owner) and his son & daughter was exceptional. Excellent food and drinks. Would totally recommend, and will be back again.

    By the powers vested in me given by Yelp, I officially declare Joseph's the crown jewel of downtown Delray. No restaurant does it better. Family run for ever since I can remember, Joseph and his daughter/son combo are the most gracious of hosts. Always willing to strike up a conversation or crack a joke, the pleasantries alone are worth the trip. The food, however, is why you'll be coming back. The menu is mostly Lebanese and French inspired, but Mediterranean is the name of the game. The execution of simple fresh ingredients is masterful. The duck a lorange is beautifully golden and crispy on the outside, perfectly tender and juicy inside....if it's on the menu, do not hesitate! The escargot is a must! Everything that hits your table screams fine dining and leaves your wanting more. Josephs is not all about fine dining. The wine and spirits menu is so extensive, this can honestly exist alone as a wine bar. In fact, with over 2000 bottles of wine, it's in the name....Joseph's wine bar. Not my thing, but they've certainly got that covered. I'll be honest, I wasn't always fond of Joseph's. I used to frequent the restaurant next door for years and years, always curiously wondering why our neighbors were having such a great time. Perhaps it was the friendly banter from Joseph and his family, or maybe the wine had everyone giddy all along. This food brings me joy! Whatever your reason, make your way to Joseph's and I assure you you will not be disappointed!

    5 stars for ambiance! Family owned restaurant - where the family cares about their customers. Friendly, attentive, and warm service. Eli the bartender (son) takes great pride in his mixology skills and we appreciated it! We ordered a beet salad to share and they split it for us. It was delicious. The duck was exceptionally good. The restaurant is on the expensive side (just like most of the rest of the neighborhood). We will definitely be returning.

    We have been coming here regularly for the last few years and the experience is always excellent. Unfortunately, I do not live in the area now so the visits are not as common but we still make the trip as often as we can. All the family is so friendly. Eli always helps us with picking out a great glass or bottle of wine and his sister and father are so nice. Its amazing how much work they put into getting some amazing wines. It is very cozy and always busy so be sure to make reservations. The lamb chops are unreal. Cant wait for our next visit

    I went here for a friend who was visiting from out of town. I was here a very long time ago and wasn't disappointed. It is a small place and I was very pleased with how quaint and lovely the owner and the wait staff were to us. It is a blend of Mediterranean and Lebanese food! It is totally delicious. They gave you this great bread and olive oil to begin I had the escargot au beurre blanc, garlic butter wine and oregano. I usually don't get this dish because it is so rich but once in a blue moon I do and this was that time. It was delicious. I also had the walnut crusted salmon topped with walnut garlic coconut flakes and finished with white wine lemon sauce, served with steamed vegetables and basmati rice. There isn't a dish I wouldn't like. My friend had the caesar salad with heart of romaine and garlic croutons. He also had the tuna and loved it. We skipped dessert as we were very full. No one rushed us through our meal. There was only one other group dining - they came in after us and left before us. But all was good. It definitely is a special dining place and worth it.

    Escargot

    First time coming here. We sat at the bar since we thought we were only going for drinks and apps but ended up staying for dinner. As other reviewers have said, we were greeted By Joseph and his kids Elie and Romy. It's crazy but you really do feel warm and happy when you go to a family owned restaurant. Great human beings. So, for the food: Escargot : it was really good, more on the creamy side Grape leaves : classic Mediterranean dish. Must get. Kebabs: you can't go wrong with it. Sea bass: good flavor and great piece of fish Everyone wore masks and tables were at a great distance from each other. Definitely coming back :)

    IF YOU LOVE ESPRESSO MARTINIS THIS IS YOUR SPOT!!!!

    Escargot dish
    Janette M.

    Sat outside of this quiet small lovely bistro. Our waiter was Joseph the owner. Started out with his wife's baked bread that was baked with love! It was fantastic! I ordered a glass of Reisling that was smooth and inviting. My husband ordered the chicken kebabs whereas I have been dying for their escargot and believe me it was worth the wait the escargot was smothered in garlic and covered in a light coat of bread crumbs. It met every expectation. I also ordered the Caesar salad but I was so full of happiness I had to take it home. My husband ate his plate completely! And enjoyed every morsel. Now it began to rain in the middle of our meal but the awning protected us and kept us dry. Now the real problem happened after dinner when we walked to our car and forgot where we parked it. Walking in the rain was not exciting. We called my sister who picked up the numbskulls and drove us around till we realized we had been one block away from our car. Oh!

    Tuna (appetizer)

    I highly recommend this family-owned restaurant and would come again. It is a great space with outdoor seating. The service is unbeatable - lead by the owner and his children. The food is fantastic - would order everything again - the best bread and olive oil to start. Salad, Hummus, tuna ( each very light and flavorful), lamb chops, chocolate flourless cake - great.

Everything was delicious, but the bacon wrath dates get a special shout out. We even ordered a second serving because they were that good! I also highly recommend the speakeasy attached to the restaurant called Radcliffe. I went there on a separate night and it was amazing..

Unfortunately, someone in management apparently looked at a perfectly good menu item that customers actually enjoyed and thought, "You know what? Let's get rid of that." The potatoes were the reason I came back. Crispy, flavorful, and somehow capable of making any meal better. Now they're gone, replaced by disappointment and confusion. I asked if they would be coming back and was told to write a review. For now, it seems these potatoes have been permanently exiled for reasons known only to the menu gods. The rest of the meal was fine, but it's hard to enjoy anything when you're mourning the loss of what was clearly the star of the show. Removing your best side dish is a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off. Until the potatoes return, I'll likely be spending my dining budget at establishments that haven't declared war on happiness.

Although it has a beautiful menu of wines and spirits, we stuck to their filtered water, and asked KC for any recommendations for lunch. He was very engaging, a wonderful communicator, and we made our selections which started with the bacon wrapped dates (YUM). Prior to my order, I mentioned a dietary restriction and KC promptly went to the kitchen to make an inquiry. I ordered the trout with lentil ragout, and my husband ordered a margarita pizza. The atmosphere was very peaceful, with unintrusive music, and we really did enjoy getting to know KC as he made sure that we were satisfied with every plate. This restaurant is upscale, yet with value pricing. Altogether, my husband and I encourage you to enjoy a lovely meal, and make sure to ask for KC! You won't be disappointed!

Every single day from 4-6 PM, they offer 50% off everything -- yes, everything -- and while that's reason enough to stop by, it's the hospitality that will make you want to come back again and again.

Christian, in particular, is nothing short of a cocktail scientist -- crafting some of the most creative and delicious drinks I've ever had. Every pour, shake, and garnish feels intentional, and it's clear you're in the hands of people who truly care about the guest experience. The food is amazing too -- we couldn't get enough of the margarita flatbread. SO GOOD. There's never a dull moment at the Venetian. I'd honestly travel back to The Seagate for a long weekend just to experience the atmosphere here again. That kind of hospitality is rare -- and unforgettable. Do yourself a favor: go for the happy hour, stay for the people. You'll thank me later. LOVE YOU BIG DADDY AND CHRISTIAN!
